Hello, everyone!
It's incredible how much you can miss the familiarity of a place after being gone for quite some time. After a busy summer full of traveling adventures to Peru and New England, it's a comforting feeling to settle back in Austin for my senior year. Yep, senior year.

I actually started this blog toward the end of my junior year of high school, so it's pretty neat to see how I've grown through my photography over the years and all the places I've had the chance to explore. To see 2011 photoshoots, click here and here. My work was a little dark, you could say. Either way, I'm happy with my progress as a photographer and can't wait to see where else I'll get to photograph soon!

One of my favorite parts of living here is the amount of beautiful photo opportunities that present themselves - and having the chance to photograph some of my closest friends at those places! Here are some photos of a recent shoot with a close friend throughout my time here at UT, who is graduating this December and entering the real world soon! Proud of you, Chanel!
